Quick response: they genuinely weren't trying to upsell me and were open to a Zoom straight away to share to listen to our vision, which did not cost a fee like so many other web/branding businesses. His fee to maintain our site isn't hundreds of dollars per month. These are just a few positive aspects of our experience. Thank you, Keith More...

They explained the process every step of the way and worked with us until we were happy, resulting in a beautifully presented website that makes us proud. We cannot think of enough superlatives to describe the service provided by both Keith and Hettie and thank them from for their honesty and professionalism. More...

Logo Design
Sydney Business Web has provided me with a great logo for my business. The process used to convey my idea was thorough, allowing me to explain exactly what it is I wanted.
Right from the start Keith was on the ball. I was updated every step of the way. He was quick to respond to any questions or requests that I had. Keith was easy to talk to and very helpful.
Hettie was lovely, and understood exactly what it is that I wanted. She took my ideas and gave them life, providing me with a great logo that I am proud to have represent my business.

What makes a great website?
There are a handful of things that are common to ALL website types:
1) A striking visual impact - You have just a few seconds to make that impact before a visitor decides to stay or leave. This must be achieved without slowing the site down too much.
2) Speed - there are various technical measure of this, but if something isn't visible and interesting in just a couple of seconds, you've lost the game and people simply go away.
3) Conversion rates. it's no use getting a lot of traffic to your website if no one buys. A high conversion website has distinct characteristics - As Jeremy Abel, the chief strategist at marketing agency rDialogue, once said:
“A website without conversion rate optimization is like a car with no wheels – it will take you nowhere.”
4) Trust - do you look like a professional and trustworthy company, not (to use an old English expression) a 'fly by night with a two bob website'. Thi requires some trust signals (customer reviews, psychologically fitted color scheme, professional logo, and more.
5) Professional SEO optimization - it's no use having a great website if the search engines can't understand and assess the content. There are many factors including correct metadata, unique content and more.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
1. What us your business - what are you selling?
2. What are your online business objectives?
3. What is your approximate budget?
4. Have you any examples of what you like as a guideline?
5. Do you have a logo?
6. How many products or services do you want to load onto the website?
7. Do you have your own content - product images, articles, product descriptions etc
8. How do you deliver your products and services?
9. Are you a local, national or international seller?
10. Who are your customers - age group, gender, financial status?
11. Do you have testimonials already?
12. Do you have a Google My Business presence, social media presence?
13. How do you intend to get traffic to your website - referrals, advertising or SEO?
Those cover most of the issues and every single one has an impact on design. Further discussions will still be needed to make sure we are designing for the right audience in the right places.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people. I my previous life as a business manager and as a design engineer before that, I always took the greatest pleasure not just in my products, but in the delight of customers. In one role, every product I sold saved lives - measurably. I was never so proud of anything as I was of that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was dog-tired of the corporate world and its culture. Don't get me wrong - I helped to build a couple of companies up to be major players in their area, but of course, as the size of a company increases, systems increasingly take over from people in judgement and processes and you get further away from the customer. I like close and personal relationships with customers - and that's why I have my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
You cannot really trust someone until you've worked with them and assessed whether they really have your best interests at heart. So you look for credible trust signals - ask to contact one of their reviewers, what reviewers say, the quality of their work. I used to write a bit - even got a novel out - and the first guideline for a writer was and is 'show - don't tell'. So see if the company you are considering will show you what they really do. We'll do that for you.
